The five year old son of o. G..
Howard, living three miles northeast
of town, met with a severe accident
last Saturday. He was playing
about wagon standing in tho yard
and in an exhibition of phenomenal
perseverance succeeded in remov-
ing one of the rear wheels, which
fell upon the lad and broke the thigh
bone of his left leg. The fracture
was made by an indirect force as
there was no bruise upon the flesh
to show that he had been struck.
DR. .DeMotte was summoned and
found it necessary to administer
ether before he could get the patient
in position to reduce the fracture.
The lad is one of the irrcpressible
sort, very active and mischievous.
He recently gratifed his fun loving
propensities by firing a stack con-
tanning several tons of hay, all Of
which was consumed, and on another
occasion mixed dollars worth Of
sugar with corn meal. His last ef-
fort was to loosen and remove the
splints which the doctor had placed
about the broken membsr, but in
this act he was discovered Just in
time to save the necessity of re-
setting. He is an enterprising FIVE
year-old.

1t is fact complimentary to the
condition and resources OF the county
that within fortnight sixty-seven
car loads of cattle have been shipped
from five railroad stations within its
borders. This speaks well for the
farmers Of the county, and shows
that many of them are well-to-do.
The corn crop OF 1856 was sufficient
to feed the vast amount Of stock
kept within the county, while the
quantity exported is beyond comput
alton. Audubon county has with,
its boundaries the resources that viii
make it one of the wealthiest in tn
state. 1t is an encouraging sigI
that so many of the farmers ar
getting into good and Independent

Edwin Booth.

Edwin Booth will open tonight to
one of the largest houses the Grand
Opera House has ever seen. The sale OF
seats for the season has been phenome-
nal, and even the gallery is nearly all
gone for every night. So great is the
demand for chance to see Booth that
there is some talk of placing an extra
row of chairs at the back of the dress.
circle. Those who did not purchase
tickets early in the sale will be disap-
pointed if they expect to obtain them on
the night of the play. Every seat for
Thursday night was sold before Monday
noon, and few seats are now left for any
performance. Mr.. Booth arrived last
night from the East, and is at the Ma.
deau House, where he will rest to-day
after his long and tiresome journey. He
will leave here on Sunday and open in
San Francisco ON Monday night, but
now here on this coast will he meet with
a warmer or better audience than in Los
Angeles. The management of the
Opera House is to be commended for the
manner in which it prevented specu'
lators from buying the best seats in the
house.

THE GOLD BRICK.
The Preliminary Exo mutation
of wfliium Ki(chie.

The examination of William Ritchie,
charged with participating in the at.
tempt to obtain money on que tionable
gold brick, came up before Justice Aus.
tin yesterday and the story of the arrest
as made public at that time was re.
peated. The first witness called was
the man Huyett, who testified that
Ritchie. together with johnson and
Others, had attempted to swindle him
out of $4,000 On the 10th or 18th of last
month. After Huyelt's testimony was
all in he was locked up in the jury'room
at the request of counsel for defense.
Chief Skinner and Officer Lynch de.
tailed their relation to the affair in al
most the same language as published at
the time, and the man VINO made sew
eral tests of the brick was placed on the
witness stand and stated that he had
bored into it and found it to consist OF
copper, zine and lead, without trace
of gold. When the prosecution had
closed, the defense placed defendant,
William Ritchie, on The stand to tell his
version Of the affair. Ritchie stated
that he first made Huyett's acquaintance
in faro game where both had lost
money. Afterwards they had recovered
the money lost and quit even. Huyett
then treated him to dinner and became
quite friendly. Some time afterward he
met Huyett and that person had told
him that he had lost some money out at
the park. He also stated that he had
been offered gold brick which he could
buy at half its value, aud said that the
party offered it to him because he wanted
to get his friend out of Jail. Huyett
asked his advice about it, and Ritchie
told him that if the brick was good he
would like to have the chance to buy it,
but he was not able to do so. Huyett
also asked him how he could tell whether
it was gold, and witness had told him
that he could take it to a jewelers. store;
but Huyett told him that the man who
wanted to sell it did not want to do
that. A short time afterwards ohnson,
whom they had seen at the faro game,
came up to them and introduced himself.
He had gone with Huyett to the room
on Commercial street, and had also gone
with him to jewelers. to have some OF
the shavings of the brick examined, but
after be had left Huyett he heard that
Huyett had been arrested, and had gone
home, where he stayed until arrested.
except that on the day before his arrest,
seeing the fuss made about it in the pa
pers, he had gone to the depot, intending
to leave, but had changed his mind and
gone back home. He denied that he
knew any of the parties who attempted
the swindle, but admitted that he played
faro too much. The defense placed wit
nesses on the stand TO prove that Huyeit
had remained q. home over the Sunday
PREVIOUS to his arrest. His wife was pres
ent in the courtroom and appeared 10 be
very nervous. The case will be argued
FOR an hour this morning.
